Empório Canela

Rio Grande do Sul


Once you tire of fondue and chocolate, head to this adorable bistro just off the main square, where well-known culinary personality Roberta Rech dishes up artisanal comfort food (lamb risotto, sautéed mushrooms with toast, filet mignon in port wine sauce) in a cutesy emporium atmosphere.

There's an extensive local beer and wine list and excellent fresh juice.
